According to the Aria Heritage Report, citing the public relations of the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts of Yazd Province, Seyyed Mostafa Fatemi announced this news on Saturday, November 22, 2014:

The Director General of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts of Yazd Province added: “The Public Prosecutor of Yazd Province visited the tomb of the late Azar Yazdi, one of the great poets of the province, and emphasized the importance of paying attention to their honors and honoring them.”

He continued: “During this visit, the Yazd prosecutor, noting that the current situation of this tomb does not beautify the province, called for the improvement of this place and the creation of a suitable memorial and the provision of public access and tourists to visit this tomb.”

“Mehdi Azarizadi is the father of the country’s children’s literature, and the day of his death has been named National Children’s and Adolescent Literature Day because of his valuable works in the field of children’s books,” Fatemi said.

A collection of good stories for good children is one of the most important works of Mehdi Azar Yazdi, which has been translated into Spanish, Armenian, Chinese and Russian to date, and the eight-volume volume of this book has been reprinted many times. These books are rewrites of Kelilehudmaneh, Marzbannameh, Sinbadnameh and Qaboosnameh, Golestan, Masnavi and Attar’s works.
